Self-care is a crucial aspect of achieving work-life harmony. Ginni emphasizes the need for decompression time and activities that help switch off from work. For her, activities like journaling or playing video games are a way to recharge. She advises individuals to prioritize sleep and care for their physical and mental well-being. By taking care of ourselves, we can show up as our best selves in both our personal and professional lives.
